Depression Poems
#depression
Depression takes a person beyond feelings of sadness, to a very dark and lonely place. Poetry about depression offers the reader a glimpse into this darkness and isolation. Depression is a serious mental disorder. A creative outlet, like writing poetry, can offer relief to some sufferers.

Willing sacrifice
Your fears are taking hold
Give it all to me
You're surrounded on all sides
But you don't have to be
Let it all go
Give in to the release
I'll be your willing sacrifice
Give it all to me
I know the pain you feel
The fog has smothered the sun
Light is fading into darkness
You feel that fear has won
But the game's not over yet
I'll set this night on fire
Watch it burn to the ground
As I pull you from the mire
So just let it all go
Give in to the release
I'll be your willing...
Give it all to me
You're surrounded on all sides
But you don't have to be
Let it all go
Give in to the release
I'll be your willing sacrifice
Give it all to me
I know the pain you feel
The fog has smothered the sun
Light is fading into darkness
You feel that fear has won
But the game's not over yet
I'll set this night on fire
Watch it burn to the ground
As I pull you from the mire
So just let it all go
Give in to the release
I'll be your willing...

Menticide
I Indiana Jones’d my depression with fake smiles and aggression.
No spores of joy in sight to teach me counter lessons.
To hell with the common.
I lost interest to follow the herd, please sell me to the devil i’m about to summon.
Nothing to look forward to. Not a thing worth looking back at.
Many will say i have to see through.
Not many left who’ll say they get that...
Perfection is a personal conception.
For that reason it is obsolete and nothing more than a contraption.
Caught in a web filled with...

Numb
I want to disappear from the Earth.
It causes me nothing but hurt.
I want it all to go away.
All you cause me is pain.
Why must I suffer other people?
Why must I exist surrounded by evil?
I wish I was alone on this planet.
All I mean to say is Jeez! I’ve had it!
Everyone and everything is boring me to tears.
This is nothing new; I have felt this way for years.
I cannot stand other people’s voices.
Give me silence instead of their choices.
Why must I talk when I want to be dumb?
Why must I...
It causes me nothing but hurt.
I want it all to go away.
All you cause me is pain.
Why must I suffer other people?
Why must I exist surrounded by evil?
I wish I was alone on this planet.
All I mean to say is Jeez! I’ve had it!
Everyone and everything is boring me to tears.
This is nothing new; I have felt this way for years.
I cannot stand other people’s voices.

Why must I talk when I want to be dumb?

Sacred fire
Sacred fire
A blessing and curse
Cut myself open
For all to see
Everone gazes in amazement
At the truth laid bare
While I'm laying mangled
Does anyone see me bleed?
The truth is...
That fire is always there
Burning inside...
Scorching it's way to the surface
If it doesn't come out in words
Destruction takes hold
When I can't find the words
Alcohol and pills are my new gold
A sick cycle
Merry go round goes round and round
Exhilarating for awhile
Then comes the haunting sound ...
A blessing and curse
Cut myself open
For all to see
Everone gazes in amazement
At the truth laid bare
While I'm laying mangled
Does anyone see me bleed?
The truth is...
That fire is always there
Burning inside...
Scorching it's way to the surface
If it doesn't come out in words
Destruction takes hold
When I can't find the words
Alcohol and pills are my new gold
A sick cycle
Merry go round goes round and round
Exhilarating for awhile
Then comes the haunting sound ...

Nico
I close my eyes and all I see is him
his golden tipped hair all tied up
Some pieces dangle in his face
while others are secured by his rubber band
His roots are a little knappy
but he is so damn sexy
I can see his chocolate brown eyes staring back at me
I can see the pain in his eyes
from lies and broken promises from his past encounters
Those lips ive kissed what seems to be a thousand times
with a ring pierced right through skin
thats always gets caught in my hair
Miles of skin
dark and smooth
His arms...

Demons
I tried bid to my demons farewell,
N they laughed in my face
N they said that they'd follow me
All the damned way until hell.
So I prayed to our Lord to be saved
And as he turned his back
He had nothin' to say
I could tell by the look on his face.
All my friends n my family have left
Through the blood, sweat n tears
Sure I gave them the years
That I honestly thought were my best.
Now I substitute promises with lies
Or that's what I might in response to enquiry
Never works though as hard as I try.

My Tomb
Eyes open wide,
a permanent nightfall takes over my vision,
as hard as i try to see, to focus,
there's nothing to see.
Darkness consumes me,
my senses redundant..
Crouched down in a corner,
soundlessly crying out for help,
but no one can hear,
a river falls from my face
from tear after tear..
Empty reflections,
the time filled with dread..
thoughts and emotions
tormenting my head.
The darkness playing host

Vampire
I stalk the night
A vampire with hollow eyes
Skin paler than the palest moon
Quench my thirst on dirty lines
I tell myself lies
That I'm ok, nothing's wrong
Drains my life a little more
Till it's almost gone
I stay out all night
Binging most often
And when morning comes
I crawl back to my coffin
I'm living dead
Cursed by my disease
A shackled monster
Who longs to be set free
A vampire with hollow eyes
Skin paler than the palest moon
Quench my thirst on dirty lines
I tell myself lies
That I'm ok, nothing's wrong
Drains my life a little more
Till it's almost gone
I stay out all night
Binging most often
And when morning comes
I crawl back to my coffin
I'm living dead
Cursed by my disease
A shackled monster
Who longs to be set free

Jumped Ship but the Sea is Scary
I said I wanted out
I jumped ship
But I wanted him to fight
I wanted a reaction
I said I wanted out
I wanted some action
Action from him
to fight and feel from his core
His action was absent
It was more of a bore
I said I wanted some action
His response was should he beg from the floor
Would his action change anything or would it just be ignored?
I said I wanted out
What should I care for?
Why do I need a reaction?
There’s no need for action anymore
I’ve made...

Drowning
Do you see me?
Can you hear me?
I am right here!
I am screaming and flailing
Fighting not to be consumed by the storm
Barraged by waves of sorrow
Pockets full of fear, heavy as rocks
Slowly sinking below the surface
Cries muffled by claps of thunder
I am begging for help
You didn't see me in time
I am swallowed by a sea of apathy
Enveloped in cold, dark misery
You won't hear me now
Because I won't yell anymore
I am sunken in this trench of despair
Can you hear me?
I am right here!
I am screaming and flailing
Fighting not to be consumed by the storm
Barraged by waves of sorrow
Pockets full of fear, heavy as rocks
Slowly sinking below the surface
Cries muffled by claps of thunder
I am begging for help
You didn't see me in time
I am swallowed by a sea of apathy
Enveloped in cold, dark misery
You won't hear me now
Because I won't yell anymore
I am sunken in this trench of despair

Stalked
I'm being followed
A killer stalks my every move
He knows everywhere I go
And everything I do
My thoughts are his
He loves it when I fall
He sits on my shoulder,
Whispering bad ideas
Hoping I'll get caught
My enemy lies within
And longs to see my destruction
The only way we'll ever part
The only way to my freedom
Is to kill the king of the kingdom
A killer stalks my every move
He knows everywhere I go
And everything I do
My thoughts are his
He loves it when I fall
He sits on my shoulder,
Whispering bad ideas
Hoping I'll get caught
My enemy lies within
And longs to see my destruction
The only way we'll ever part
The only way to my freedom
Is to kill the king of the kingdom
